Joanne Beckham and former Big Brother star Kris Donnelly have reportedly split, six months after the couple welcomed their first child together. The pair are reported to have drifted apart due to the stress of becoming parents.

“Joanne and Kris have had a really tough few months,” a source told The Sun. “Looking after a newborn knocked them for six and dealing with the constant exhaustion and worry put a huge strain on their relationship.”

Sources say both Joanna and Kris are focussed on being “the best solo parents they can possibly be”. The pair welcomed their first child, Peggy, at the end of 2017, sharing the news on Instagram, saying:

"Such an amazing feeling starting our own family. The love I have for our little princess Peggy is one that is so unconditional! "I'd never of been able to do it without the love of my life ... Kris, you was my strength! Thank you."

The news comes as rumours continue to circulate that big brother David and wife Victoria are on the verge of splitting. Yes, reports that David and Victoria are heading for divorce have been non-stop in recent weeks despite the pair putting on a united front on social media.
